I’m pleased to announce that a new conservative organization is born. The Young Conservatives Coalition offers young, professional conservatives a chance to take charge in becoming the next generation of movement leaders, improve the movement’s image problem, and connect with other young conservatives. The formal launch is at CPAC in a few days, but like [...]
No, not me. I’ve been consuming those junk food jewels since I first drove by a White Castle in Northern Minnesota back in my college days. Little Miss Attila had her first White Castle experience. Too bad they came from a box. The “steam grilling” in the restaurants makes the buns extra soft with no [...]
Because I’m not finding the energy, punch, and hooks I require in current rock music I’ve jumped back into electronic music in a serious way. I’m hunting for new podcasts and listening to plenty of DJ mixes to and from the office. I stumbled upon Remix Artists Collective Minimix 3 on Fairtilizer. There’s plenty of [...]

Peter Berkowitz takes a crack at reviving fusionism by calling it “constitutional conservatism.”
Berkowitz starts with the founder of modern conservatism, Edmund Burke:
The quarrel between Burke and the French revolutionaries comes down not to whether liberty is good or even the leading purpose of politics — Burke thought it was both — but to the material [...]
So far, Buzz Williams has lead the Marquette Golden Eagle Warriors to first place in the brutal Big East. But college basketball is as much about recruiting as it is coaching. I’ll need to see a few years of success from Williams’ own players before I go ga-ga for Buzz.

The old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Even though software is known for breaking and crashing all the time, an operating system you’re comfortable with and works well enough means you’re less likely to upgrade. That’s the case with Windows XP versus Windows Vista [emphasis mine]:

Put an asterisk after this Super Bowl win for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I’m being tongue-in-cheek. But why didn’t the referees review the Kurt Warner “fumble?” Not that it would have likely changed the final outcome but still.
For the second year in a row football fans got to see a great Super Bowl game. There were [...]
